石油设备网讯据世界天然气网站5月29日消息 美国能源公司和液化天然气生产商康菲石油公司为达尔文液化天然气发电机组启动了一个电池项目，将发电碳排放量减少20%，同时可以降低燃料气消耗和运营成本。
达尔文液化天然气的合作伙伴桑托斯表示，该项目是世界上第一个建造液化天然气工厂的项目，涉及到将电池技术与现有的发电涡轮机相结合。
该项目现在将进入开发的前端工程和设计阶段，预计于明年中期完成。
桑托斯公司董事总经理兼首席执行官Kevin Gallagher表示：“公司的目标是在2050年实现净零排放目标。”
“在减少碳足迹的同时，达尔文液化天然气电池项目（与库珀[盆地]的太阳能和电池项目一样）也降低了成本，意味着我们可以销售更多的天然气。自2007年成立以来，它已经抵消了超过200万吨的二氧化碳。”
根据桑托斯的说法，该项目还保护了当地野生动物和雨林植被，为当地土著社区提供了社会、文化和经济效益，也为200多名传统业主和护林员提供了就业和消防管理培训。
达尔文液化天然气设施由康菲石油公司运营，桑托斯在该项目中占有11.5%的份额。

ConocoPhillips launches battery project at Darwin LNG
US energy company and LNG player ConocoPhillips has launched a battery project for Darwin LNG set to reduce power generation carbon emissions by 20 percent, as well as cut fuel gas consumption and operating costs.
Santos, a partner in Darwin LNG, said that the project was a world first for an LNG plant, and involves the integration of battery technology with existing power generation turbines.
The project will now move into the front-end engineering and design phase of development and is targeting completion by the middle of next year.
Santos managing director and CEO Kevin Gallagher said: “[the company is aiming] to achieve our goal of net zero emissions by 2050.
“As well as cutting our carbon footprint, the Darwin LNG battery project – as with our solar and battery project in the Cooper [Basin] – cuts costs and means we can sell more gas. Since its establishment in 2007, it has offset more than 2 million tonnes of CO2.”
According to Santos, the project also protects local wildlife and rainforest vegetation and provides social, cultural and economic benefits for the local Aboriginal community, resulting in the employment and fire management training of more than 200 traditional owners and rangers.
Darwin LNG facility is operated by ConocoPhillips while Santos has an 11.5 percent share in the project.
